I don't know if anyone can help with this or if it even can be helped or should be, but my cat who is still under a year old, seems to have developed a fascination with beverages on desks or counter tops. He'll leave the cup or bottle be usually if it's empty but if it has any amount of liquid in it, first he may stick his paw in it, next maybe try to drink it but the main thing he seems to want to do is push it off the edge and onto the floor.
At first I would put my drink onto the floor or into my lap but now he follows it and seems to wait for me to set it down and either turn my back or leave the room so he can knock it over. This sounds horribly ridiculous for me to be asking for advice as I type this out but it does appear to be a problem. Not just because I have stains on my carpet in my room now but he's also broken glasses in the kitchen and bathroom.
If the only answers there are are "leave kitty locked away when you have a drink, leave kitty locked away period, don't take so much liquid if you can't finish it all in one gulp, use a sippy cup or bottle with a lid etc." then perhaps you could share what you think the best carpet cleaner is out there cause the one I have doesn't seem to do anything.
Sorry, I know this sounds ridiculous.
